NEW YORK—Carlos Alcaraz made his mark dethroning Jannik Sinner in the US Open final to claim his sixth Grand Slam title—and regain the world No. 1 ranking.

Alcaraz has celebrated with a new bleached blonde hairstyle and will add some major ink to his new look.

Speaking to ESPN in the aftermath of his second Flushing Meadows title in the last four years, Alcaraz said he plans to get three celebratory tattoos. 

The 22-year-old Spaniard will get the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge and the date of his title 9-7-25 in tattoos to commemorate his US Open crown.

Alcaraz, who regained the top spot for the first time since September of 2023, initially had the date of his first US Open championship “9-11-2022” on the back of his left arm as his first tattoo.
